I request business counseling services from the Small Business Center Network (SBCN) through one of its directors or resource partners, and I agree to cooperate should I be selected to participate in surveys designed to evaluate these services. I permit the SBCN and its agents the use of my name and address for SBCN surveys and information mailings regarding SBCN products and services.

I authorize the SBCN to furnish relevant information to the assigned counselor(s).

I understand that any information disclosed will be held in strict confidence and that the SBCN will not provide my personal information to commercial entities. I further understand that the SBCN counselor(s) agrees not to: 1) recommend goods or services from sources in which he/she has an interest, or 2) accept fees or commissions developing from this counseling relationship. In consideration of the counselor(s) furnishing business startup, management or technical assistance, I waive all claims against SBCN personnel, its resource partners and host organizations.
